Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0225083A2] Line access apparatus (10) for in-band communication includes a line coupler that functions as a high voltage isolation device and has a resonant frequency of the signal transmission band. A carrier signal of about the resonant frequency is modulated at an in-band frequency to convey information across the line coupler. The apparatus comprises a plug (18) adapted to be inserted between the main distribution frame (42) and a plurality of high voltage protector blocks. The plug includes a plurality of pins (20) of which each pair is intended to bridge a respective line pair. With the pins (20) are associated piezoelectric devices (24) each serving as both a voltage-isolating device and a signal coupler.
